The unbeaten Fury puts his WBC crown on the line against his fellow countryman, having destroyed Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas last October.
Fury had eyed a unification showdown with the man who holds the other heavyweight belts, Oleksandr Usyk, but both Whyte and Anthony Joshua rejected step-aside money.
With Usyk and Joshua set to face off once again this summer, it left WBC interim champion Whyte, 34, with the chance to take on Fury, 33, and finally get his shot at a world title.
Whyte has not fought since beating Alexander Povetkin in their rematch last March.
It was confirmed by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman that Whyte would be facing Fury as the mandatory challenger, even after he pulled out of his Saturday 30th October bout against Otto Wallin.
